Warning while using file_get_contents for google api

Question

I am using this code for finding the lat lon of a location

$api=\'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=United States Neversink&sensor         


        

Answer 1

Use urlencode to encode the address part. (The problem is the space in the address.)

$address = urlencode("United States Neversink");
$api='http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=$address&sensor=false';

$result = file_get_contents($api);
